Brooksby, the upcoming match will be only his sixth on the grass in 2022. Before Wimbledon, he had a three-match losing streak - in Hertogenbosch to Gaston, in London to Krajinović, and in Eastbourne to Draper.
At Wimbledon, Brooksby confidently defeated the veteran from Kazakhstan, Mikhail Kukushkin, in three sets in an hour and 52 minutes.
Brooksby had three aces and zero doubles, won 71% of points on first serve and 61% on second, 46%/62% on receptions, and winners/unforced errors are 23/13.
The Frenchman, Benjamin Bonzi will battle Jenson Brooksby in the Round of 64 tomorrow. Bonzi has looked excellent on grass this year holding a 5-3 record.
Two of those losses were due to the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, who just won the Mallorca Open last week.
Brooksby owns a 1-0 record against Bonzi beating him in a 3 set match last year. Since then, Bonzi has improved his game tremendously while Brooksby's has taken a spiral downwards.
He destroyed him on grass winning 3-0 but I won't be fooled as Mikhail is nothing special.
This is a complete mismatch in my opinion and with the small moneyline I will be backing Bonzi.
I do expect Brooksby to win a set or maybe two but in the end Bonzi should prevail.
I like this so much I sent this out to the Dancing Team yesterday as my MAX Play for tomorrow! So meet me on the Dance Floor and LFD.
I expect history to repeat itself and for Brooksby to once again take out Bonzi, on a surface where he’s just as comfortable as the Frenchman.
